Anna and family,
I am so sorry to learn about John's passing. He was such a great person and I loved teasing with him. And of course, his cookies were outstanding. Prayers for your family.

Mr. John was. Kids Jope mentor to a former student of mine. He was very patient and kind with my student and stuck with this student throughout the years. God Bless his kind soul and may his family find peace during this sad time.
